National Judicial Data Grid 

It is a part of the on-going e-Courts Integrated Mission Mode Project. 

NJDG will work as a monitoring tool to identify, manage & reduce pendency of cases.

It will also help to provide timely inputs for making policy decisions to reduce delay and arrears in the system, facilitate better monitoring of court performance and systemic bottlenecks, and, thus, facilitate better resource management.

The pendency statistics would be updated on a daily basis by district court complexes. The pendency would be broken into civil and criminal cases, segregated into year-wise categories of up to two years, between two to five years, between five to 10 years and more than 10 years.

The Indian judiciary comprises nearly 15,000 courts spread in approximately 2,500 court complexes throughout the country, the e-Courts Project website said. It said the efforts for computerizing court processes have been on since 1990.
